Taylor is excited to produce a special run of vintage-look special edition models that sport a shaded edge burst (SEB) mahogany top. With its dusky, rich-grained complexion, a mahogany top projects an earthy look that is sonically well matched by its meaty, midrange-emphasized voice. The artful hand application of a shaded edge burst adds a subtle splash of sepia-hued visual warmth that enhances the natural character of the wood on these guitars. From there, simple appointments add workmanlike refinement without over-ornamentation. The solid black pickguard plays well with the ebony bridge and fretboard, along with the dark grain accents of the mahogany top. An all-satin finish brings a tastefully muted sheen that fits the rootsy vibe. White purfling around the body and rosette adds a crisp visual pop that highlights each model’s unique body contours. The end result is an all-around classic look with undeniable stage appeal.
